MINNEAPOLIS -- In a world where (Big) Ten equals six (hockey-playing members in the conference) and (Final) Five amounts to four (teams in this weekend's WCHA semifinal), nothing's quite as it appears on the surface.

With conference tournaments commencing this weekend -- two of them in the Twin Cities -- the makeover of NCAA Division I men's hockey is almost two full seasons in. Casual fans have had another year to figure out which sextet of Big Ten schools have varsity pucks programs, what teams are still in the WCHA and what NCHC stands for.

But those on the inside of #cawlidgehawkey, as SportsCenter anchor and ESPN hockey analyst John Buccigross likes to get trending on Twitter, think this could be the eye of the storm, not its outer edge.

"I don't know if the waters are ever really, truly calm," first-year WCHA commissioner Bill Robertson said. "I think there's been a settling right now for a bit, but I do see more changes arising in years to come in college hockey. I don't think this is the last shift we'll ever have, that's for sure."

That's because even with 2013's creation of the Big Ten and National Collegiate Hockey Conference, which precipitated Robertson's league losing and adding schools, another round of expansion and potential realignment looms.

There's a big, maroon-and-gold domino with a pitchfork emblazoned on its front sitting in Tempe, Ariz. With Arizona State announcing in November its intentions to shift from highly successful club hockey to the Division I ranks, a whole platter of possibilities arises.

Once the Sun Devils decide on facilities, a financial model and other various start-up initiatives, they'll need a conference. Robertson bullishly proclaimed his desire to add Arizona State to the WCHA's already-massive footprint, and the Big Ten and NCHC are possibilities, as well.

Their reasons for being interested are manifold. Arizona State's Tempe campus is the nation's largest in terms of enrollment and features an expansive alumni base. It'll boast Division I hockey's only program in the American west or southwest, where the game is growing exponentially. It's a part of the Pac-12, which has its own TV network.

And it could open the door to more programs in its neck of the woods adding Division I pucks.

"I think the bigger piece of it is it's a Power Five conference school, No. 1," said Robertson, who took over for longtime WCHA commissioner Bruce McLeod last April. "No. 2, they provide the ability to get us exposure into the Southwest, into the West Coast, where there are a lot more hockey players coming.

Dust is a household enemy that many of us are not getting rid of often enough, says Montclair interior designer Robin Wilson.

"Get a microstatic cloth - they have big ones - and just run it across surfaces. You'll be done with your dusting in minutes," says Wilson. You can also go old-school and use an ostrich feather duster, but this is a dust-catcher that needs to be washed, Wilson says.

Of course, dust is unsightly, but that isn't the primary concern for Wilson, whose Manhattan-based company Robin Wilson Home specializes in eco-friendly designs, including bedding products available through Bed Bath & Beyond.

As one who suffered asthma-related breathing difficulties as a child, Wilson knows firsthand the respiratory distress dust can cause. And as a designer who aims to create healthier living spaces, she counts dust, molds and chemicals among airborne substances that can compromise the air we breathe inside our homes.

She avoids heavy draperies. They trap dust and can be difficult to take down to be cleaned as regularly as needed. Similarly, Wilson prefers tile or hardwood flooring over wall-to-wall carpeting, whichcan hold dirt, dust and animal dander, she says. Even in homes without carpet, Wilson suggests removing shoes at the door to avoid bringing in dirt and chemicals. When pets come in from outdoors, she says their paws should be wiped to remove contaminants, which they also can ingest when grooming themselves.

And she has a rule of three for pillows: "Every three weeks, wash your pillow protector; every three months, wash your pillow; every three years, replace your pillow." "Take your discarded pillow to an animal shelter and do a good deed with it," Wilson suggests. Wilson notes that pillows and their casings become receptacles for dead skin cells, dust mites and other allergens. She compares sleeping on an unclean pillowcase to wearing dirty pajamas, and emphasizes the need to wash all bed linens at least once a week.

Her Robin Wilson Home bedding line includes quilts, hypoallergenic pillows and mattress toppers, and other allergen-free options at Bed Bath & Beyond. Robin Wilson Home custom cabinetry is made by Holiday Kitchens from recycled wood fiber without formaldehyde, a carcinogenic substance often used in construction adhesives and other building materials. The cabinetry is designed to eliminate crevices that can host dust and other allergens.

Wilson, who is an ambassador for the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, also suggests being vigilant about mold, using dehumidifiers to help dry out damp areas. She offers the following environmentally friendly cleaning tips, many of which can be found in her book, "Clean Design: Wellness for Your Lifestyle" (Greenleaf, 2015, $22.95).

Kitchen: Wilson suggests quartz Silestone countertops, which she says have hygenic properties not found in other materials. "It doesn't have any crevices or holes that bacteria can get into."

Bathroom: Replace vinyl shower curtains with nylon. Vinyl curtains hold mold more easily and can release chemicals that diminish indoor air quality. In addition to using non-toxic cleansers, always close the toilet seat when flushing to prevent a spray of bacterial particles onto nearby surfaces, including towels, toothbrushes or soaps.
